Not always. I flew with Cecy aboard the End back before she came Wingmaster of the Longkeel, and it was Cecy who invited me over. Most of the ol' team left 'fore I took over, but Orset's still here, same as ever. I don't think she's got anywhere …

There's that talk done. The sight of a certain somebody up top momentarily distracts me, and I catch myself givin' him a grin right back. I gotta make myself fight it down. I clasp my hands firmly behind him, give him a slight nod to say, yes, I …

"Right." There's a kind of finality to my tone. I've made up my mind. Not that I wasn't hopin' Vail was right before...but now I'm hopin' a bit harder. That money could go a long way toward helpin' Colizabel figure out her situation. "You'll le…

Gotta respect her for that. From what I heard, Khandians'll pay a bit o' coin for children. It's not much, certainly not enough to comfort a mother, but for some o' the folk, they got little choice. Send 'em to Khand or watch 'em starve. They sa…

I understand that feeling all too well. Nothing compares to bein' up there in the clouds, just you and your bird and your thoughts. Even on my worst day, that's all I need to bring a smile to my face. I wouldn't want to give it up neither. I cou…

...And the hits just keep comin', don't they? Of all the things I expected her to say, it wasn't that. That just puts me off my guard and makes my stomach do a flip all on it's own. I guess the final say-so is down to me, sure, but it comes down …

The trip to the Remnants was bittersweet for me. I swore I'd see the lady to her king -- I just had no idea that she'd find herself something better along the way. It's good to see her happy. It's prolly the only truly good thing I'll ever do, bu…
-
I give them all a bright grin, though I'm blushing a bit, I can tell. It's a bit o' the attention. But it's also a bit o' the lyin' I'm doing makin' me feel bad. I give Colizabel a brief nod and wait for the rest of the wing to filter off to tend…

I grin smugly at their approval, even if, technically, I didn't have to do all that arm-bending that I'm letting on I did. "Few days. I s'pose ship's gotta restock'n all, so we got time to stretch our legs a bit." And Vail needed time to decipher…

If we're closing up, I'd like to do an epilogue, please!
-
I give Thomer an approving nod and a smile to thank him -- he had had two birds to take care of already, and it's not his job, besides. I'll have to have a chat with Orset, find out what's what. She usually ain't so easy to put down... Right. Th…
-
No Orset, huh? There's always gotta be one, doesn't there? "Anyone seen Orset since we got back?" Thought's barely entered my mind about 'Lizabel. She's a bit rough around the edges, sure, but she ain't mean-spirited enough to actually hurt Orse…
-
Neither Orset nor Catlip sleep in here. Who knows where Orset beds down -- I put it down to one of her quirks. Catlip's got a hammock in here, but I don't think I ever seen her use it but rarely...but if anybody was to ask, we'd say she does. She…
-
I give the Captain a scrutinizing look as the lady fills me in on her plan. She'll be staying with the Captain then -- he's a good man, I suspect, and he'll treat her right. And she'll have Snargle and Kale looking out for her too. She seems to k…
-
He's sure of himself -- and that's good. It kinda rubs off on people, the way it's rubbing off on me right now. I really believe that if anyone can do it, it's Vail. I still got that unsettled feeling in my gut, but, for now, sure, I think we can…
-
Cyrus smiles in spite of himself. He nervously eyes Kale, Snargle, and Bishop. He's not used to being vulnerable in front of his crew, and he's worried that Bishop would break him in two if she knew what he and Blackbird had been getting up to. D…
-
S'not exactly good news... I shift uneasily as I try to bring up my concerns without soundin' like a little girl beggin' her papa to check the closet and under the bed for monsters. Most things I would be glad to face down for that much coin...but…
-
The offer of the liquor surprises me, and I think it must show in my face as I look over the bottle with some caution. Havish Wine, huh? I wouldn't admit this to anyone, but I can't really hold my liquor. I was a real girly drinker before getting…
-
To be honest, I'm kinda sorry I asked for some leave now. A map to some forgotten treasure. A key hidden in a song. This is the kinda thing people like us spend our whole lives searching for. But, the rest of the wing don't know. They need the …
-
I lean over the book, and I squint a bit as I try to make heads or tails of it. Course it don't make much sense -- that's what the key is for. If it were that easy, the captain would've cracked the code long before Vail found out about it. Hundre…
-
"Few days at most," I answer decidedly. Just some time to unwind and spend some time to ourselves. Or, at least, apart from the folks ruffling our feathers. It would do us all, Colizabel 'specially, some good. I hold out my hand for to shake, an…
-
I like the idea of being the hero here -- I really do. Usually when I stand up for the wing, it's because someone's started a fight or accidentally blown up the aft roost. Even if I get them outta most of the trouble with the brass, I still have t…
-
No one else was posting, so I decided to do a thing. If it's pretty obvious what happened between the lady and the captain (like, I dunno, they're holding hands or making out in the corner), let me know and I'll revise. In the meantime, I'm going …
-
I've taken my usual place against the wall behind the lady. I've got my arms crossed, and, although it looks like I'm settled in to relax, my back is only resting against the surface lightly. It's not that I'm expecting to have to defend the lady …
-
I cross my arms and glower sullenly at him. Oh, sure, he had a good reason'n all -- or he thinks he does, anyway -- but I'm not about to be persuaded outta giving him an earful. Me and Vail mostly get on pretty good on account of his easy-going na…
-
Oh, so there is a reason to blame him? I realize I'm starin' -- prolly look like a damned fool with my mouth hangin' open like it 'tis and my face turnin' a few shades o' red. "That is the payment?" I'm so busy seethin' that the bit about maps ha…
-
Sure, we can definitely leave it there! Totally works for me to move on if you like!
-
Sorry, gov'nor, t'wasn't Hence's smile I was looking at. Well, not jus' his smile. I offered him a smile and nod of my own while he was lookin' my way, but he's got somethin' else real pretty that his climbin' around like that shows off real nice.…
-
We try t'stay outta politics. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it doesn't. Point is, we're as likely to help a Khandian flotilla as we are an Olmarian vessel for a bit o' coin. But don't mistake us for mercenaries -- there's distinction, see, bet…
-
I wasn't expecting a hug. And I sure wasn't expecting tears. I thought he might try to weasel out of this, or, maybe, he might actually wanna talk about something or other that was bothering him. But this? It catches me completely off-guard, and…
